3 Parts Preamble Grievances Resolution of Independence Dec. of Independence 3 Parts Preamble Grievances Resolution of Independence

3a. Preamble Sometimes it becomes necessary for one group of people to cut ties with another group of people. When one group of people decides to separate from another, they should explain why. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the Pursuit of happiness.”

3b. Grievances The king has refused to agree to laws that would benefit the people. Our own governments have been abolished. The king has caused fighting among the colonists. Our trade with the rest of the world has been cut off. The king gets to decide whether the judges keep their jobs and how much they get paid. New laws have taken away our right to a jury trial in many cases. The king has opened new government offices and sent “swarms of officers to harass our people.” The king has housed large numbers of troops in our communities. The king has tried to keep people from coming to the colonies to live.

3c. Resolution of Independence “That these United Colonies are, and of Right ought to be Free and Independent States.” It declares a complete break with Britain and its King and claims the powers of an independent country.
